PAT-30
QR-22
RC-21
Bio-24
Chem-24
Orgo-30
TS-26
AA-24

This is my first DAT taken on last Wed.
I'd like to say that science is relatively easy but there were some confusing questions.
For reading comprehension I believe anyone who is well-rounded with science fields or reads science related articles a lot, will do well on RC.
PAT...I want to say I was lucky(?)
And finally math, questions are generally fair but since I didn't really studied (but practiced) for math (well re-study HS stuff), I got what I got. One thing I want to recommend others is that practice using markers and whiteboard or laminated sheets. Testing centers don't allow any pens or pencils so I recommend using markers and boards to get used to the setting. I only practiced with pencil and paper and with my perfect sloppy handwriting I had hard time reading what I had written on the laminated sheet during the test.

Recommendations: DAT destroyer (very recommended) some say this is really hard (it's true) but practicing hard questions helped me think questions carefully and quickly on real DAT...I believe.
Also with DAT destroyer try orgo odyssey, which you can get at the DAT destroyer site. DAT probably won't ask exact questions like DAT destroyer or odyssey but they have useful information to strenthen science knowledge.
Crack PAT is very recommended also b/c it will harness your perceptual ability like none other (Get the one with angle questions with caution. angle problems almost got my eyes pop out)

Hope this helps

Nice scores.

DS are going to raise their average DAT up to 22+ lol
So many people get 25 AA and TS. Damn it.

Interesting note about the boards+markers, I may look into this for practice. Incredible PAT score, don't think I've ever seen a 30. You didn't mention anything about bio, any reason?

Congrats, hope your applications go just as well.

Maybe its just me, but where is the yippy ippy hey hey hurrah in the posts. With scores like those, I'd expect an uncontainable blissful breakdown but it sounds so monotone and robotic. 😴

More comprehensive breakdown please 😳

Word!!

I would go WICKED WILD if I had scores like these and write a SUPER LONG breakdown. Oh well...People can do what they want. Congrats to the OP!! That's an awesome score.

Seriously! Well, maybe the OP had a party in real life. I know for me, I went NUTS when I got my scores (and they were good, but not as outrageously good as this guy!).

After my test... I was trembling, shaking, and dropping my id card and credit card all over the place, almost as if there was a 10.0 on the Richter scale. I also partied the whole week

That's hilarious. I was seriously questioning reality when my scores came up. I was STILL in a state of disbelief as I was signing the paper at the end! I kept having this lingering fear that my scores were going to disappear, and never come back, as if some sort of colossal typo of cosmic proportions.

So you can't use paper at all? I have been practicing the hole-punch questions with paper. Is there a better way I can practice them since I can't use paper?

Congrats on the awesome score!

I really hope it's true that PAT score correlates with performance in pre-clinic 🙂

 

[NewBee12]

Like I said before you guys are raising the bar for all of us 🙂
congrats on the amazing score. I just want that 30 on ORGO and i'll be happy 🙂

practicing the hole-punch questions with paper will waste your test time. Get crack PAT to get used to PAT and practice the hole-punch questions in mind with your best
